The plants were easy to care for and produced an abundance of vibrant red leaves. They tasted great and looked beautiful in my garden. I’ll be buying these seeds again next season.

While the Swiss chard seeds did grow into healthy plants, I found that the leaves weren’t as tender as I had hoped. However, the plants themselves were lovely to look at and added a pop of colour to my garden.
